Bundestag has all Bases to Condemn the Armenian Genocide over this Year: Sharmazanov

The discussions of the draft condemning the Armenian Genocide in Germany’s Bundestag indicated that all the factions accept that massacres of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey, in 1915 is genocide and it must be condemned, Vice President of the Armenian National Assembly (NA) Eduard Sharmazanov said after the executive body session of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA). “There were no speeches to put the Armenian Genocide under suspicion. After the discussion I met with the author of the draft Cem Özdemir and Vice-President of the German Bundestag Edelgard Bulmahn after a day. They both stated that they are ready to do ev erything possible for the Bundestag to condemn the Armenian Genocide,” Sharmazanov said.

Sharmazanov added that most of Germany’s ruling coalition representatives expressed the need for recognition and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide. “I believe that there are all the bases for Germany’s Bundestag to condemn the Armenian Genocide during 2016,” Sharmazanov concluded.
